HENRY

every once in a while
there is a passenger who is REALLY excited about going somewhere
Sat, goin' O'Hare to Fort Myers
i got to meet Henry
Henry is THREE
he is going to Florida
i asked where he started the day
he said, at the airport
i laughed
later, he told me,
he can't see Florida from his house
he nkept looking out the window,
wondering when we would get to see Florida
then, it was when are we going to be IN Florida
i told him when we were on the ground
we would be in Florida
he told me his sister's name is Ava
they are going to Florida
they live in Washington (state)
i told Henry
when we got on the ground & the pilots turned off the
seatbelt sign, he could go talk to them
as we got closer to landing
he got MORE excited as he looked out the window
and saw Florida
when the seatbelt sign came off
he was out of his seat
the pilots opened the flight deck door
Henry headed up to visit them
he was EXCITED to be in Florida
he thanked us all for taking him to Florida
